Thread: Problems With My B13 "Turning Crank By Hand & Its Hard To Turn Over"

as im turning the crank it has a loose spot and than it gets to a hard spot where im practically using my entire body to turn it over . once it turns over it becomes loose and than wen i reach the hard spot im doing it all over again .

what can it be .

Are the plugs out when ur turning it? If not then there will be hard spots, which is the compression stoke. Before I put the lowport in my NX it had sat for more than a year from the previous owner. I had the plugs out while turning it with some seafoam in the cylinders. I think it may have been from some stuck rings. Is this the engine you've been running, or another engine ur getting ready to put in?

LOL!! dude your fighting compression and or cam lobes/valve springs.

^^^lol, thats what i was going to type

When it DOESNT compress...then get worried!
